I haven't read any current mags. Will Ford come out with a model to compete with the LS7 Z28 coming out? I guess the Boss 302 would be the closest fit right now but I doubt it will be able to manage with what Chevy has stuffed and removed from that Camaro.

The Boss LS would probably hold with the Z28, honestly.

I just find it sad and funny that Chevy waited until after the Boss ended production to create an equal track car to the Boss. Of course you will be the best when you are uncontested. Lol

That Z28 is a 50k dollar car w/o ac. With options you could get into a shelby for the same price. Plus they put 315's on all 4 corners of that car so it better stick. My question is this....out of all the stangs, camaros sold how many actually track.

Are we talking stock? If we're talking modded that's just useless as I know some Civics that would crush 5.0s.

Can't confirm but I could swear I saw a $50k pricetag on the last Boss I saw at Westway. Besides that, all of that stuff costs. It's like when MT compared the 5.0 to the 1LE and the 1LE came out on top in (IIRC) everything but comfort but it also had larger tires and brakes.

A $50k Boss? They're idiots. A fully optioned, non-LS Boss should be $47k or so. I think an LS may reach above $50k.

MT comparing the 1LE to the Track Pack 5.0 was somewhat of an even matchup, but still not entirely fair.

An LS with the dealer mark ups were easily $50k

That's what I figured.

With dealer mark ups. Z28 is within range of a Shelby price wise and that's enough for me.

Thats the thing the Ecoboost makes a ton of Tq from down low. This new 5.3 of GM's offers 1mpg better Fuel economy but make signicantly less Tq and Hp.

We will see in several months what mpgs people are REALLY seeing. My dad had an 05 z71 silverado before and it got better mileage than my 08 2wd with the same 5.3 4l60e combo even though mine had active fuel management. Both were the same truck except one was 4wd and different years.

The Eco boost is not the top range engine. Gm is fucked in everyway.

**garner** · 07-27-2013, 07:52 PM

Neither is the 5.3, gm is still making the 6.2 to compete with the ford 6.2. But it's a late release just like the regular and quad cab models
